Darwin Nunez scores landmark Jurgen Klopp goal for Liverpool

Darwin Nunez scored a brilliant goal for Liverpool vs Sparta Prague on Thursday evening and took Jurgen Klopp to a landmark in the process. The boss makes history once again.

Liverpool took a 2-0 lead against Sparta Prague on Thursday in their Europa League Last 16 clash. Alexis Mac Allister earned and then scored a penalty to open things up, with Darwin Nunez providing a wonderful second.

Mac Allister made his goal all on his own. He pressed incredibly high and at pace, catching out a defender inside the box. The defender reacted slowly, swiping for the ball after it was gone and bringing the Argentine down.

The Uruguayan's goal was the opposite. Nunez picked the ball up on the edge of the box and ignored a run on the overlap. Instead, he cut inside, composed himself, and unleashed a fantastic strike that looped over the goalkeeper.

Now, said goalkeeper probably should have done better - he didn't read the path of the ball at all - but it was classic Nunez. He decided to try something different and emphatically found the net.

And with that, Jurgen Klopp hit a brilliant landmark at Liverpool.

Jurgen Klopp witnesses 1000th Liverpool goal

Mac Allister's penalty was Liverpool's 999th goal under Klopp, with Nunez then making it 1000. Of course, it's a landmark that Klopp was always going to hit at some point this season but it's incredible to finally see it.

1000 goals in 476 games, to be precise. It's a higher total than the Reds managed under Bob Paisley (955 in 535 games) - though, some way short of Bill Shankly's tally of 1307 (in 783 games, mind).

Liverpool have been a relentless attacking machine under Klopp, and him bagging 1000th goals at an average comfortably over two per game is sensational. With far more to come, it should be said.

Liverpool still have a couple of months left of Klopp and plenty of goals to come. In fact, no.1001 came shortly after no.1000 as Nunez struck again.

Goals galore under Klopp. The next boss has a lot to live up to - to say the least.
